After Qi Si left, the door closed, and two well-dressed men came out from the curtains and corners of the room. Both of them had swollen temples, and their eyes were full of radiance, which showed that they were strong in martial arts.

"Chang'an, go find out why this Qi Si appeared in Jufeng Tower, and whether he is following me." Xiao Min's eyes flashed sharply, "Also, check his whereabouts since he woke up, and report to him one by one. I."

A man clasped his fists and walked out of the room without a sound.

When the man left, the man in fancy blue clothes stood up from the couch, saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, it was my oversight that let someone else come in."

"It's okay." Xiao Min's expression was light, "Has Qiao Ying left?"

"Master Qiao has already left through the back door." The man in Tsing Yi said, "According to His Highness's instructions, I will continue to send people to protect him, and I will definitely be able to escort him to Yunzhou safely."

Xiao Min nodded, "Tell Qiao Ying that the reprimand is only temporary, His Majesty and I will never forget him, and one day he will be able to return to Beijing, so that he can continue to work for the people in Yunzhou with peace of mind."

"Yes." The man in Tsing Yi lowered his head slightly, "Qiao Zhen thanked Your Highness on behalf of my father."

Xiao Min: "You call him father, does he recognize it?"

The man in Tsing Yi named Qiao Zhen didn't answer.

"In the future, if I have a chance, I will tell my father to let you recognize your ancestor and return to the family tree of Qiao's family." Xiao Min said, "Qiao Ying was famous for her first life, but she married a wife who had no eyesight and would only slow her down. To give birth to an incompetent son, but you, a wandering son, who looks so capable...feudal arranged marriage is not a good thing."

Qiao Zhen said, "Father has no other choice."

"I have to?" Xiao Min smiled, but didn't make any further comments, "I think, instead of thinking about recognizing your ancestors and entering the Qiao family, it's better to set up your own business. Since you can manage the shop for me on your own, It is completely possible to establish its own charter openly and aboveboard."

"Your Highness, after all, I'm a concubine..." Qiao Zhen said, "It's not easy to establish a family on my own."

Xiao Min said: "There is a difference between concubine and concubine, you always care about this, even you are such a smart person, it is really ridiculous that you want to go back to Qiao's house. But after thousands of years, there will be no concubine in the world, everyone is equal?"

Qiao Zhen knew that His Royal Highness was deviant, but he didn't expect to lose consciousness for a while, and became even more arrogant, and even said such words, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "Your Highness..."

"It's not your fault that you came from a bad family background. If you came from a bad family background and missed the things of the Qiao family, I wouldn't say that. After all, Zhang's mother and son are married, and the things of the Qiao family are what they deserve. You really miss the things of others." , It should not be due to emotion or reason. But you didn't eat a grain of rice from Qiao's family, drink a drop of water from him, and you have a family business to help them, why should you be humble when you meet Qiao's family? Mother and child are low?"

"Your Highness, you must never mention this to others." Qiao Zhen was very moved, knowing that His Highness loves her, and hurriedly said, "There is a difference between a concubine and a concubine. The concubine is respected by the concubine, and the truth remains unchanged through the ages."

Xiao Min chuckled, "You think I'm talking nonsense on purpose to win you over?"

Qiao Zhen didn't answer.

Xiao Min: "Let's put it this way, I never cared about my two concubine elder brothers disrespecting me, and I didn't think it was wrong. They always miss my things and are always against me. That's what I hate. Their reasons, understand?"

Qiao Zhen was moved, "Your Highness..."

Unexpectedly, His Highness's attitude towards his two elder brothers is like this, His Highness's measure is really extraordinary.

"How is the store doing?"

Xiao Min stopped persuading him, it was too difficult for an ancient man to give up the concept of the superiority and inferiority of concubines, if Qiao Zhen was not his capable subordinate, he would not bother to care about it.At the beginning, he had taken a fancy to this person's ability and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, but he never thought that this person was born of a concubine who was expelled by the mistress of the Qiao family. Help, Xiao Min worried about hidden dangers.

But this hidden danger was brought about by Qiao Zhen's own thoughts. He wholeheartedly wanted to be recognized by the Qiao family and become the young master of the Qiao family.Originally, there was nothing wrong with this idea, but unfortunately, Qiao Ying's wife is a very difficult person, jealous and vicious, with nothing but identity, and completely different from the rest of everyone's wife.The son she raised, loves leisure and hates work, and fights fiercely and bravely.Qiaoying herself was a clean and honest official, but was demoted by his son.

Xiao Min considered that Qiao Ying's experience as an official might be useful in the future, and she is also the father of her subordinates, so she went out of the palace to meet and solicit.

Qiao Zhen said: "The store's revenue is good, but it is very difficult to enter the capital, and the relationship between the capital and the capital is complicated. If His Highness comes forward..."

Xiao Min shook her head, "It's impossible for me to show up, all business is up to you."

He paused, and said: "Why bother with the capital? I said that it is very good to encircle the city from the countryside."

The flamboyant man wondered, "Who is □□?"

Xiao Min: "You don't know a great man with great foresight."

Qiao Zhen understood what he meant, and said, "Your Highness told me not to fight with other people in Bianjing? I understand, I must do it well."

Xiao Min nodded, "I'll go first."

He got off the couch and walked outside, Qiao Zhen said: "Your Highness, the hairpin..."

"No." Xiao Min walked to the door, and the guard who stayed behind also followed and opened the door for him.

When she was about to step out the door, Xiao Min didn't know what to think, she stopped, turned around and walked back to the couch, opened the box on the tea table, took out the jade hairpin and put it in her hair bun.

"Your Highness?" Qiao Zhen was dumbfounded.

"This hairpin matches my clothes." Xiao Min said lightly.

Qiao Zhen: "..."

He looked at His Highness who was wearing women's clothes but did not feel uncomfortable at all, and he felt complicated feelings in his heart.

"What's more, someone who can see my good qualities through the appearance, and who can fall in love with me at a glance in the crowd, has a good vision. I can't bear to show his kindness to such a person."

Qiao Zhen: "..."

Qiao Zhen barely controlled her expression, silently recalling the benefits of His Highness in her heart, and finally felt a little better.

Qi Si knocked on the door one by one, and finally saw Bai Liu in the Zhuzi shop.

First I bought hairpins, and then I chatted with Xiao Min. I spent a lot of time looking up at the sky. It was almost noon.

Bai Liu opened the door to welcome him in, Li Lanshang avoided suspicion and did not go in, and Bai Liu thoughtfully arranged a room for him next door.

"I thought the general wouldn't come." Bai Liu's voice was soft, with complicated eyes.

The room is spacious and bright, Qi Si walked to the center of the room, coughed and said: "I can't keep you waiting."

Entering the room, he tried his best to forget Xiao Min and focus on Bai Liu.

Today's youth is still dressed in white, his black hair is tied with a white headband, and his eyes are picturesque.If you want to be pretty, you should be filial, which is probably what you are talking about.

This ink painting-like face is pleasing to the eye.

Bailiu's servant silently brought tea for the two of them, set the teacups on the tea table by the window, and took out a jug of fine wine and put it on the couch.

The wooden windows are wide open, there are no trees outside the house, and the view is wide. At a glance, you can see the sparkling lake. Several white water birds float on the turquoise water, making cooing sounds in the bright sunlight.

After the servant arranged everything, he took out a purple food box and opened it, and took out a plate of fried peanuts, a bowl of delicate sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and a few juicy white pears.

Qi Si's heart trembled when he saw it, didn't he, do I just eat this for lunch?

I couldn't help reaching out to touch my soft belly, and it seemed that I heard a grunt.

It has to be said that Bai Liu's layout is very thoughtful and meticulous, both the environment and the food are very elegant, but unfortunately he is a little hungry now, so he can't appreciate the so-called lake and mountains.

"General, please." Bai Liu stretched out a slender hand, motioning for him to sit up.

Qi Sike followed his master's will, and sat upright behind the tea table, and Mr. Bailiu, who was dressed in white, also sat on the other side of him.

There is a faint fragrance in the room, the sun is shining outside the window, and the beauty in front of me is picturesque.

Qi Si almost forgave Bai Liu for taking him for a fool.Beauty always has privileges. Throughout the ages, which hero does not love beauties?A frown and a smile for her or him can destroy the body, destroy the country and destroy the family. If not, how can the phrase "overwhelm the country and overwhelm the city" come from.

Bai Liu picked up the jug and was about to pour wine, but Qi Si stretched out his hand to stop him, "I don't want to drink today."

He doesn't know how much he can drink, if he drinks too much and makes promises randomly, that's not good.

"In that case, let's drink tea." Bai Liu took back the jug graciously, lifted the tea pot on the tea table to pour tea for Qi Si, and said in a soft voice while pouring, "General, please drink."

After speaking, he made a gesture of please.

A transparent amber liquid was rippling inside the white porcelain cup.

Qi Si raised his hand and took a sip, the taste was slightly bitter. After a while, his mouth was full of fragrance. Smelling the fragrance, his mind seemed to be much clearer.

"How is it?" Bai Liu asked.

"Good tea." Qi Si admired, he didn't understand the good or bad of tea, this tea was not quite the same as the one he drank before.

Hearing what he said, a slight smile appeared on the face of the young man opposite, "This is Qiongxian."

"Joan Xian?"

"Yes, Qiongxian is a specialty of our hometown in Qiong County. It is rarely bought and sold in the market, and the locals drink it by themselves." Bai Liu said, "Both the old general and my father like this tea. When the old general comes to my house as a guest, my father will use it." This tea treat."

Qi Si was taken aback.

Bai Liu poured himself a cup, picked it up and took a small sip, then said softly: "The general has been away from Qiong County for many years, thinking about it, I can't remember the taste of Qiongxian."

The young people are beautiful, and even the movements of drinking tea are very elegant.

Qi Si considered for a moment, and said: "It's been many years, I really don't remember much."

The thick eyelashes trembled, and Bai Liu lowered her eyes slightly, "Does the general still remember what happened when we were young?"

When it comes to this step, the last layer of window paper is almost pierced.

Qi Si sighed, and said slowly: "I woke up some time ago, probably injured, I don't remember anything, including what happened between you and me."

The young man on the opposite side raised his eyes, his eyes were gloomy. Although he didn't make a sound, he also revealed the meaning of "you are joking".

"Don't believe it?" Qi Si laughed and waved his hands, "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, anyway, it doesn't matter."

Bai Liu lowered his head again, lost and said: "Since the general said he has amnesia, then let's treat it as a general who has amnesia."

He looked out the window and changed the subject, "It's a beautiful spring today, which is very suitable for outings."

Qi Si: "The weather is indeed good."

"I, I haven't seen such a beautiful spring scenery for a long time." Bai Liu sighed softly.

Qi Si: "Isn't it possible to see each other every day?"

Bai Liu's brows were filled with sorrow, and she remained silent.

Qi Si: "What's wrong?"

Bai Liu didn't answer, Qi Si asked twice more, but Bai Liu still didn't answer.

"My son is not free at all." The servant who was waiting in the distance interrupted suddenly.

Qi Si was taken aback.

"I was able to come out to see the general today, and it was because the master spent a lot of money to let the bustard agree to let me go. On weekdays, the master can only walk in the Bibo Pavilion, and it is difficult to go out...My son, it is very hard..." The young man concealed face crying.

Qi Si: "..."

No, why are you crying all the time?Is it so exaggerated?

"It's your turn to interrupt when I'm talking with the general?" Bai Liu turned cold, "Go out."

The boy wiped away his tears, turned around and left the room.

Qi Si has no interest in continuing to grind with Bai Liu, he is very hungry and wants to eat.It is true that Bai Liu is beautiful, but he already has someone he loves, so it is not fun to be with Bai Liu.

"Bai Liu, you might as well speak up if you have something to say." He took the initiative.

Bai Liu was silent for a moment, then said: "The general is invited to come today, there are three things."

three things?

Qi Si's expression froze slightly, this Mr. Bailiu was really rude.

If you want a cup of tea, please promise three things?

"The first thing is to apologize to the general. The general helped me win the oiran that day, but I said behind my back that the general was not, and it was my fault."

He raised his teacup, "Apologize to the general."

After finishing speaking, he gulped it down involuntarily, and then asked Qi Si, "Can the general forgive me?"

Qi Si breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's okay.

"Since I am willing to come to the appointment, I have naturally forgiven you. Tell me, what is the second thing?"

Bai Liu lowered her eyes, "The second thing... Since the general already knows the true thoughts in my heart, I hope that the general will respect himself in the future and don't come to Bibo Pavilion often, so as not to damage the general's reputation."

The young man's voice is clear and shallow, but the meaning is very clear.

Qi Si was speechless.

What do you say that will damage your reputation? In fact, you are afraid that you will pester him, right?

Qi Si thought for a while, and it's good to be clear, he originally planned to make a clean break, so he said: "Since Mr. Bailiu doesn't like me, naturally I won't pester you any more."
